Attentive readers of this column will have noted that in the summer issue I reported on what I then believed to be the first set of twins born to the family of '90ers (to Jill Cote Rakowski, in April 2002). In my last column, I reported a rumor that Peter Bryant and his wife, Cosima, had 1-year-old twin daughters and that Greg Lundberg and his wife, Ann, welcomed twins in July 2002. While I've had no updates from Jill or Greg, I have heard from Peter, who wrote to tell me that his daughters, Mila Sauge and Solenne Loup, were born in August 2001. The twins are now "walking, making animal noises and constantly making us laugh as we chase them around the house." Peter has just accepted a job heading up communications for World Wide Fund for Nature's Endangered Sea Programme; they are now living in Nyon, Switzerland. And I got a rather sleepily terse note from Richard Robin, who said, "my wife, Nurit, and I have 2-year-old twin girls, Eliana Jordan and Yonit Noa--we also have a 4.5-month-old baby girl, Maya Liat--we live in Los Angeles and sleep very little." Dare I ask if there are any '90ers out there with triplets? Quads? . . . Well, even without any more multiple births, the family of 1990 is growing by leaps and bounds. Eileen Kinney Lindgren is taking some time off from consulting in high-tech marketing to stay home with her five-month old daughter, Hali Ruth. Eileen and her husband, John, live in the Bay Area, and Eileen frequently sees Suzanne Koumantzelis McCormac and her two children, Chloe and Ian, who live nearby. . . . In March 2002 Tim '91 and Liza Barber Moynihan moved to Colorado, where Tim took a job with Google.com. They are expecting "baby #3" in March, and Liza is planning to pursue a nursing degree to be a labor and delivery nurse. . . . Jennifer Alexander Honig and her husband, Larry, welcomed the birth of their daughter, Samantha Jordan, in September 2000. They live in Pittsburgh, Pa., where Jenny is the director of marketing for Amperion, Inc. Jenny keeps in touch with Sheri Berger Bronstein, who is living in Hoboken, N.J., with her husband, Teddy. Sheri is working for the Bank of America and frequently sees Meg Christie '89, who was to give birth to twins (yikes, more twins!). . . . Bebe Clark Bullock wrote that "all is well with the Bullocks in Vermont. Our son, Silas Field Bullock, was born on November 19. Our daughter, Adelaide, 6, and son, Liam, 4, were eager to welcome him to the world." . . . Stephen Nahley says that he and his wife are still living in New York City, where Steve is a real estate attorney for a law firm on Wall Street and his wife is in private practice as a psychotherapist. Their daughter, Charlotte, just turned 2. Steve recently saw Mark Smith, Mike Grant and Mike's wife, Heidi (Meehan '91), at Jim Reduto's house for a barbecue. The Grants have three kids now, the Smiths have one, and the Redutos had one on the way. . . . Elaine Kaufman Goldman is also doing the full-time mom thing with her two daughters, Louisa, 4, and Eleanor, 2. She and her husband, Michael, live in St. Louis, where Matt '91 and Becky Streett Melander '91 have just moved into the neighborhood. Elaine is hoping that this group of three will get some momentum going for a St. Louis Colby Club. Elaine also enjoyed a visit from Erica Hoffmeister Supple, who made the trip from Boston with her daughter, Delaney, 3. . . . Mel Balboni finished her pediatrics residency at Children's Hospital of Orange County in June 2002 and is now a first-year Pediatric Rheumatology Fellow at Stanford University. . . .

He recently traveled to Uzbekistan as part of a documentary film crew for the PBS show "Journey to Planet Earth," which mainly focused on environmental concerns. They were in Uzbekistan primarily to film the Aral Sea, which has shrunk by 40 percent since the 1960s due to aggressive irrigation during the Soviet era. . . . Susanna Beevers married Andy Seem last summer at the Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod. Sue writes, "there was a good Colby crew in attendance. The Colby bridesmaids were Sarah Hayne Reilly, Sara Madden Curran, Cindy Demskie Mulligan, Jen Lally Kent and Lisa Shactman. Dyanne Kaufman Hayes, John '88 and Kristin Hock Davie, Elizabeth LeRoy Clothier and Emilie Davis Kosoff were also there to celebrate with us." . . . Tim Tanguay was married to Deana Goldsmith (Brandeis '90) in October in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. They are living in San Francisco, where Tim is VP of technology for the Perishables Group. . . . And finally, word that one of our expatriates is returning home! Tanya Gross Chevalier and her husband and two daughters are moving back to Chicago after living in France for 10 years. Tanya is apprehensively anticipating a little reverse culture shock and all the things she will miss about France (for example, the cheese) but consoles herself with thoughts of things she will not miss about France (for example, the strikes!). . . . Please keep those cards and letters coming!

The magazine staff apologizes--that this column, which I wrote last September, disappeared in the editing process before resurfacing this spring. Too bad, because I had just come back from a wonderful weekend in Maine. Kurt Whited, Cory Snow and I were at Sandy Colhoun's family home on Vinalhaven--off the coast of Rockland. We hiked in the rain, jumped in the freezing cold Atlantic, sat up late watching shooting stars--it was just like COOT, only with showers and better food! . . .

It truly is a small world. Last week a young man (obviously out for a brisk lunchtime power walk) bumped his thigh on my briefcase. I noticed he was wearing Colby Spandex, a Colby sweatshirt and a Canton High School knit cap. As he apologized I realized it was Rob DeLello, who, since he does not have e-mail, brought me up to date right then and there. He and his wife, Kate, had a baby boy, James Carty, on August 30, 2002.
